Confused About Folder Extraction with ARC Utility

I feel utterly dumb for asking this, but I am trying to use the ARC
utility. According to docu, I can do

`arc e example.arc "C:/location/to/extract"`

and it should extract all files in example.arc to that location. But
instead I get the message "File not found: C:/location/to/extract" (even
though the folder exists on my hard drive.) It seems that instead this
applies a filter of which folders to extract *within* the archive.

I want to batch extract a bunch of files in some subfolders and without the
ability to specify where to extract I can't do this without going to each
folder one by one. Is this really the intended behaviour and will I have to
modify the source code myself?
